  • Very Helpful
Model Number: TOWA3-M
It’s great to be able to begin a project knowing that there will not be major tension issues right off the bat. It’s easy to use and worth the cost. It’s good to be able to use other types of thread with confidence.

  • Is the bottom first pulley next to the bobbin case set in at a slant?
Model Number: TOWA3-M
I think this might be exactly what I need for getting my tension correct on my A-1 Quilting Machine; however, I sent the first one back as it appeared that the first pulley was set in at a slant. The tension appeared to read correctly, but I did go ahead and asked to exchange for a new one. The replacement came in exactly the same. Has anyone else noticed this about the gauge you purchased? I didn’t know if I should buy a different brand or not. ??? ... show more

  • Be sure to buy the model for your bobbin case
Model Number: TOWA3-M
This meter works well and makes setting up a long-arm sewing machine's tensions much easier. It also works well for testing used bobbin carriers to see how evenly they work. Just remember that it is specific for a certain bobbin carrier size.

  • BEST PURCHASE IVE MADE
This has got to be one of the best investments I have made for tools for my longarm quilting. The tension is spot on each time. I haven't had to make any adjustments to my tension when I use the Towa. I set mine to about 250 tension on the Towa and it has been perfect each time. Prior to purchasing this tool I was always having to play around with my tensions, which honestly was extremely frustration. I don't have that issue anymore. Don't know why I didn't get one sooner. I highly recommend this item to anyone that seems to struggle with thread tension. ... show more
